Gori Wins Again: Karasu Storms Japan Cup

September 29th, 2011 by AB Marine

The Summit 40 Karasu has won Japan's major inshore regatta, the Japan Cup. Interrupted by Typhoon Roke which brought a maximum speed of 130 miles per hour, Karasu returned strongly to win the event with less than half the points of the second place finisher, including a win in the offshore race. Project managed through her build by Bob Wylie, Karasu has been perhaps the most successful IRC design in Japan since her arrival.
